★★★ ROOT IS NEEDED ★★★
Make your smartphone more privacy!!
This app lets you hide ALMOST ANY APP (excluding system ones, yet!!!) but gmail, facebook, etc yes, and adult apps too!!! from prying eyes so let them be like INVISIBLE.
This software is password protected so anyone without the password can do any changes and see wich app's are really installed in the phone.
Next coming:
★ More languages coming... AND MORE!!
★ Hide some system apps like browser, etc coming too!!

Hi there, actually that's the idea, no one can launch this application if it's hidden.
Althoug, you don't need to go to the app drawer again and lauch from there, you can just click the app name in our application and will be lauched (previously you must unhide) and when you finish using it go and hide again.
If you any better idea would be apreciated and studied.
(We are planing that the application can be launched althoug is hidden, always from our application) but the main problem of this option is that while the app is unhiden is visible from the app draw and we can not know when the application is closed so we can hide it again...
Any idea/sugestion will be appreciated!
New Version
Hi there, we have uploaded a new version where you can do batch operations, like hide/unhide multiple applications at the same time.
Lite version does not have this, because you can only hide one application.
In the next version we will release a widget to hide/unhide groups of applications at a same time from the home, and in the lite version to hide the application you have selected.
PS: Of course any idea, comment, functionality, etc would be appreciated to improve this app.
Awesome app bro

It's not apps per say. It's those wallpaper apps that have silly app icons in the drawer. Like the SGSIII wallpaper, Nexus wallpaper, etc etc. See screen shot below. It's just a personal pet peeve of mine thats all. Something I used to be able to hide with the Xperia launcher add on while using my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I thought the native Xperia launcher would have also had this feature natively.
but you still can make it a bit cleaner, why you dont reorganize yours apps?. I have on first screen only most used apps, on second - multimedia and navi, third - games, fourth - rare used, fifth - junk from system, like help ect.

Again, why dont you just delete those apps? They dont come on generic firmwares, its just bloatware...delete them
Hiding them does nothing to free up space on your system, it just removes the icon..if you are that bothered about icons you might want to free up space, in which case you need to delete the apps.

so download the wallpaers to your gallery and delete the app...you sound like someone who wants their cake and wants to eat it..
If you want the app, its in your app drawer, if its no use to you delete it...
Not sure if you know but after the jb upgrade the app drawer supports custom ordering...you could hide them all on the last page!

[Q] How can I hide on-screen button bar?

Hello there. I've searched a lot but I can't find anything about Xperia SP, only for a huge amount of other Xperia models. So, my questions is. Is there any way I can hide the on-screen button to get really full screen games/apps? Like during the videos? I don't mind if root is needed, I just want to take of that 3 buttons bar while playing some games.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks.
I assume that you tested it on SP or someone else did it. I really found apps like this, but was never sure about "may work with other devices". Anyway I'm gonna root asap and try this. Thanks for you attention.
Tested
When you tap red bar they will pop for second. You can adjust size place, look etc. Working ok.

[Request] Google Now Weather Notification Blocker

Would it be an easy task for someone to create a module that disable those annoying weather notifications that Google Now makes? :fingers-crossed:
I know that they can be removed by disabling the weather card completely, but I'd like to be able to still see the card when I go into Now but use other things (or nothing lol) to show me the weather in my notification shade. Also, using an app (like the NotifyClean module) can't really hide the notifications because they're all different. You might not see the one for "64 - Showers" anymore but the rest will still show and it's not practical to do this for every weather condition you encounter. Blocking notifications for the whole app will prevent you from getting more important notifications like your Reminders, so that won't work either.
I've searched around and seen that some other people are after this too but there haven't been any real solutions so I thought I'd ask here. Can it be done? Thanks in advance for any help!
Always can be done
Now,I can look into the app for found a way ti do this.But I will not kid yourself because my only phone is updated to lollipop and xposed here doesn't work,so,if no one want to do this module,I will do,if I'm able, later.

Verizon messages deleted from verizon

Hello all... newbie here... I have a rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge... Thank you all for your time and knowledge... I like learning the abilities to unlock the full capabilities of this awesome piece of hardware... while rooting I was able to download six months worth of messages from Verizon. I felt vulnerable at that point. I have nothing to hide ; ) yet I feel this info should be private... and I'm not the only one for sure.. can any of you super devs teach us to delete this personal info from verizon servers?? I believe I know the answer, can't hurt to ask though, right? Any tips to make my phone the best edge around?? Rom links? Whats the best rom?

Go to MyVerizon page and log in. Look for cloud services, text messages and delete. But...if you plan to go that route...are you sure you want to lose your text messages? I would then recommend SMS Backup apk so you can save them on your device and/or the cloud.
About links for your phone...search for your device on search bar on the top page. Just type Samsung Galaxy S7 edge or click here.
Cheers,
Thanks... I tried the ty but got an error. Will this delete all of my texts from access from everyone? From their servers? And, no I have no need to keep texts.. if it's important, I speak to the person... ????

To delete messages from all other messaging apps, they must be deleted from your device.
If prompted, select Get started (under 'Wireless').
Navigate: My Verizon > My Devices > My Cloud Media & Contacts.
Click the appropriate tab (located on the left): ...
Click the Select icon.
Select a file(s) then click the Delete icon.
More items...
Delete Media - Verizon Cloud - Website | Verizon Wireless
If you don't really care for your texts then just delete them with this instructions. If this does not work, call customer support.
Cheers,
